Schwarzhorn, Alpine summit in Bernese Oberland, Switzerland
The Schwarzhorn reaches an elevation of 2,927 meters above sea level, featuring a small glacier called Blau Gletscherli on its northern face.
The mountain gained recognition as a climbing destination after the establishment of the First gondola station, which opened access to its challenging slopes.
The name Schwarzhorn derives from the German words for black horn, reflecting the dark appearance of its rocky outcrops against surrounding peaks.
Climbers access the mountain via two primary routes: the Southwest Flank and South Ridge, both equipped with protective chains for safer ascent.
The Schwarzhorn stands as the highest point in Brienz municipality, offering views of major peaks including Eiger and Mönch from its summit.
